It’s Friday and time for the Colour Crazy Challenge. This challenge is also an “Anything Goes” but it adds a requirement; the creation needs to include coloring in “any colouring medium you like, onto any project you like, and in any colours you like.” I’ve never outgrown my love for coloring… which is why making cards is stress therapy for me!! 

This week's sponsor is Scribbles Designs, and I used a wonderful digi named Bookstore.  After printing the digi on white cardstock, I added color and textures with Spectrum Noir Classique Markers and a white Sakura Gelly Roll gel pen. A page from an old and tattered book, a sentiment upcycled from an old card, black photo corners, and two keys fussy-cut from patterned paper add the final touches.

 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Scribbles Designs (Bookstore)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white & silver gel pens

·   Inside Sentiment- upcycled from an old card.

·   Pioneer Black Photo corners- available from several sources

·  All other items from my stash.

I had so much fun making two Tunnel cards for the current Lift Challenge that I decided to make one more! (I don’t know if there is a limit on entries. If there is, I ask any of their DTs that stop by to please remove this card from their entries.)  My first tunnel card entry was an undersea scene, and I really liked how using a scrap of acetate as my middle section allowed the background to show through. This time, the clear section helps the cute little fishies from a Fred She Said digi set to “hover” in the water, adding some color and imaginary movement. So fun! Meanwhile, the little mermaid- who looks like she enjoys being the center of attention- has been in my digi collection for many years. She is from a wonderful company named Whimsie Doodles, which sadly closed in 2018.

Supplies: 

·  Inside Tunnel Card- Jennifer McGuire’s excellent video tutorial can be found HERE

·  Digi- Sand Dollar Mermaid  from Whimsie Doodles (Company no longer in business.) 

·  Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

Since I had a few fish and seahorses left from my last card, I decided to make another underwater card. I had my Whimsie Doodles digi folder open, and I think I saw this cute little Merman wink at me… so he gets a card of his own! Two freebie sentiments, plus tools and items from my stash helped finish this fun card.
